1 When the wedding feast was over, Tobit called his son Tobias and said to him, “My son, be sure to pay your travelling companion, and don't forget to give him a bonus.”
2 Tobias asked him, “Father, how much do you think I should pay him? I wouldn't mind giving him half of everything we brought back with us.
3 He brought me home safe and sound; he went to get the money for me from Gabael; he rid my wife of a demon; and he cured your blindness. How much of a bonus should I give him?”
4 Tobit answered, “Give him half of what he helped you bring back. He well deserves that.”
5 Tobias then called Raphael and said to him, “Here is half of what you helped me bring back. You have earned it; have a safe journey home.”
6 Then Raphael called the two men aside and said to them, “Praise God and tell everyone about the good things he has done for you, so that they too will honour him and sing his praises. Let everyone know what God has done. Never stop praising him.
